Practice ear massage for 5–10 minutes daily
Gently stretch and hold the ear in a comfortable position for 10–20 seconds, repeat several times
Perform light “pinch and release” of the outer ear cartilage (avoid pain) for 1–2 minutes daily
Try targeted stretching exercises: pull the ear slightly outward and upward, hold briefly, release
Use taping methods (medical/orthodontic style) only if a clinician has advised it for your age and condition
Wear a headband or ear-support device as directed by a healthcare professional
If the issue is due to a medical condition or injury, seek evaluation from an ENT or audiologist
If the ears are prominent due to cartilage shape, consider consultation with a plastic surgeon about otoplasty options
For infants/children, consult a pediatrician early for guidance on safe, age-appropriate options
Avoid forceful bending, aggressive pulling, or attempts to “reshape” cartilage at home if painful or worsening
